Boston Wailers Band
4 Piece band that has played in many different venues South of Boston. We play a good mix of Rock, Rhythm, and Blues.
The Sprints
The Sprints are a band of teenagers that live on the South Shore of Massachusetts. They are a four-piece consisting of Matt Bartkus (Vocals, Guitar), Maggie Dineen (Vocals, Bass), Kyle Strauss (Lead Guitar), and Kyle Tolini (Drums). They formed several years ago through the South Shore Conservatory, and now play out of Bosse School of Music. Recently the Sprints have rocked many small bars and venues such as The C Note in Hull. The band plays originals and covers inspired by alternative and indie artists. This will be The Sprints' third Porchfest, and they are psyched to be a part of it!

Blue Jets
The Deep Blue See
The Deep Blue See band is an original rock duo with Deb Blackadar on drums and vocals and Mike Holmes on guitar and vocals. Deb has been a drummer in many bands and has performed in the US and Europe, with a few notable acts in and around Boston. Mike has been in a number of bands in the Boston area. Deb and Mike teamed-up in 2011 to form The Deep Blue See.
The Nice Marmots
The Nice Marmots, from the Quincy, Massachusetts metropolitan area, are Irina Cashen on vocals, Ketut Suwastawan and Tom Emswiler on guitar, Winston Féliz on keyboards, Benny Appleby on bass guitar, and Brian Carey on drums. With influences including the Police, Paul Simon, Rilo Kiley, Lucinda Williams, and REM, The Nice Marmots produce singer-songwriter pop tunes that leave audiences humming and maybe even nodding along. The band began playing music in 2013 with Irina and Tom. After playing covers for a year, The Nice Marmots began writing their own songs. They recorded basement demos to fine tune their craft and find their sound. With open mics and porchfests under their belt, The Nice Marmots entered the studio in Summer 2017 to record their debut EP, A Lotta Ins, A Lotta Outs, available from Bandcamp. Later that year Winston and Ketut joined, followed by Brian and Benny in the 2020s. The six members now produce a wall of sound. Music videos and more are available at…
Rich O’Hanley
A jack of all styles and master of none, Rich counts among his influences Jerry Garcia, Jorma Kaukonen, David Bromberg, and Duane Allman. Aside from hearing Flatt & Scruggs theme songs on '60s sitcoms, it was Old and in the Way and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band that piqued his interest in bluegrass. It was only then that he started listening to the Fathers of Bluegrass and seeing new bands at T.T. the Bear's Place and other Cambridge venues. Now it's bluegrass and classic country first and foremost, testing the forbearance of his family and friends. He still plays the D-18 he bought in 1975 with the pittance he saved while in the Army. To paraphrase Freelwheelin' Franklin, "A Martin will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no Martin." Amen, brother!
